NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to urgently hear a plea filed by the producer of the film ‘Udaipur Files’ challenging the Delhi High Court’s order, which had temporarily halted the release of the movie based on the Kanhaiya Lal murder case.
A Bench of Justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi agreed to list the matter in a day or two after senior advocate Gaurav Bhatia mentioned it for urgent hearing.
The film, slated to be released worldwide on July 11, revolves around the brutal murder of Kanhaiya Lal, a tailor in Rajasthan’s Udaipur, in June 2022 by Mohammad Riyaz Attari and Ghaus Mohammad by slitting his throat.
